The making of…

The Minneapolis Skyway System is an 8-mile interlinked collection of enclosed climate-controlled pedestrian footbridges that connects various buildings in 69 full city blocks over 11 miles (18 km) of Downtown Minneapolis. It is the longest skyway stystem in the world. The skyways are owned by individual buildings in Minneapolis, and as such they do not have uniform opening and closing times.

L.A.-based artist Julia Kouneski works with the limits of the sensing and the sensitive. She is interested in activating what she calls the ‘sensual body’ and speaking to a type of intelligence of the body. Most of her pieces involve setting up a frame for a performance, visually and situationally, while leaving it open for elements to unfold within this frame.

Most recently, Kouneski has presented her work at metro pcs Los Angeles and HomeLA.

For her FD13 performance, Kouneski is working with fellow artist Sarah Petersen to investigate how a sensory body translates within public space.

During his residency in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Linder looked at scripts and librettos as part of his larger research into the notion of the abstract and the genre of the operetta.
